[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tin_can_:
My first thread was in the Desire section and we got on the topic of the Nexus One not being sold through Google anymore but now its dead all together :( There's an article on mashable dot com that tells how its all being halted.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treble4:
http://www.mobilemag.com/2010/07/18/google-to-stop-selling-the-nexus-one/

It was widely heralded as the first real “Google Phone” and now it will soon be laid out to pasture. If you were hoping to get your hands on the Google Nexus One smartphone, I highly suggest you do it very soon, because Google has placed its final order with HTC for the device. After stock from this shipment is depleted Google will no longer be selling the Nexus One through its official online store. Nada. No more. Kaput. You have plenty of other options in the Android realm, like the HTC Droid Incredible, but the Nexus One holds a special place in cell phone history.

That’s the bad news, but there are two smaller tidbits of good news. First, Google will continue to offer support through its customer service lines. So, if you already have one of these devices in hand, you can still get help when you need it. Second, Google is looking for a way to continue selling the Nexus One through a sales partner, but these sales will be restricted to registered app developers.

I guess you go out and buy just about any other Google Android device offered through your carrier of choice, but those oftentimes contain some carrier-specific doo-dahs. The Nexus One is, as far as we can tell, the only true clean-slate and completely unlocked Android that you can get on a very official basis.

And it's complete nonsense, as is the other exact same thread as this one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
Not hardly dead...Still plenty of life & development in our Nexus :cool:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
For f**k's sake, stop trolling the panic.

How many topics a day do we need about this?!

FOR THE LAST F*CKING TIME:

Nexus One's ONLY purpose and the SOLE reason for existence was to promote android and show what it can do on a good hardware. They planned to have Nexus 2 to continue pushing android. Since so many companies like HTC/Motorola/Samsung jumped on an Android band-wagon, Google officially stopped Nexus TWO development and slowing down (NOT STOPPED!!!!!!!) Nexus One sales.

As per Google's CEO own words, "NEXUS ONE WAS SO SUCCESSFULL, THAT WE DON'T NEED NEXUS TWO."

If your brain is so tiny that it can't understand that Nexus One was a huge success for what it was intended for, and that Google NEVER intended to make money on phones directly, then I beg you, please go hang out on iPhone forums where you'll find your kin.

Jesus holy Christ. :mad:

I sold my Nexus on Craigslist on Friday. Bought a Vibrant Thursday. After holding that phone for 1 second I knew I had to have it. Screen was downright AMAZING! I love what the Nexus gave me but this is the nature of technology and you can lament it or accept it.

That's good news, if the phone won't be available discounted through carriers, it will remain rare!!!! A true gem!

As long as we're be able to run Gingerbread when it's released it would keep me happy for many more months :)

Actually you can still buy one, you just have to pay $25 for the developer channel i think.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayrod88:
Hey guys, has anyone figured out how to set the default calender on the captivate when adding a calender event it always defaults to "my calendar" which is in the phone. Every time I add an event to my calender I would like it to go to my gmail calender instead of always having to change it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayrod88:
I'm surprised nobody has run into this yet. Does anyone use their calendar???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DailyApper:
yeah I have the same problem.

Couldn't find a setting to change it. I will play with it a little more right now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DailyApper:
yep no luck.

Even went into settings while in calendar and unchecked the "my calendar" one - it still comes up as default.

No setting for it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayrod88:
I haven't tried this yet, but if you add an event to "my calendar" does it still sync with the Gmail account? I assume no...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayrod88:
Anything on this issue yet? Isn't the point of a google phone to be able to integrate into google applications like calendar? This is a horrible feature on this phone which for me is a pain as i enter a lot of calendar entries daily. It worked just fine on my htc hero (as did the gps and contact groups...).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdogz:
Did you go to Settings / Accounts and sync / your Gmail account, then check Sync Calander?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayrod88:
Yes. My gmail account syncs just fine. The problem is when you add an appointment to the calendar on the phone, it defaults to "my calendar" (which will not sync with google). I would like for it to default to my google calendar when adding an entry on the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] no driver:
Try an alternative calendar app like Gemini Calendar or Jorte Calendar. They are both free and let you use your Google Calendar by default.

I chatted online with a Samsung person to find out if there was a way to make the Google calendar the default in the calendar app that comes with the phone. She claimed that she was able to sync an event from her phone calendar with her Google calendar, but the steps she told me to use did not work for me. I think she didn't understand what I was asking.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayrod88:
Im currently using Jorte and it is working fine. I hope samsung gets a fix for this as i do like the layout of the stock samsung calendar.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Betray:
Ya same problem. after a reboot or something it gets checked back and im saving stuff onto the reguler calendar. seems like a bug.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boost3dsupra:
has anyone found a solution to this problem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Really?

Create an event, change the calendar where it is saved to your gmail account, click ok, SAVE EVENT. If you don't want the event, delete it.

Next time you create an event it will default to your gmail account.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdwolf85:
I have no issue with the calendar.

Open the calendar app, press the menu button, select more, select setting, select calendars, un-check 'My Calendar' done.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] citizen_insane:
This is not working for me. Is there an actual setting somewhere you can set to force the phone to do what it's supposed to do?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] voodoochild2008:
Ok just seen the new iphone4 TV advert, woman in hospital having a scan of her new baby and husband is dressed like he is over in Iraq, they are using the new facetime thing, all very nice he is able to see the scan himself as she turns the camera around.........and its then I start thinking “what a load of crap” the advert carries on and at the end it says you need a wifi connection.

1st problem, she is in a hospital, every hospital I have been in the UK tell you to turn your mobile off as it can effect the machines.

2nd wifi? I understand how he can have it but how does she get it, not only would she not be able to use the phone I really cannot see the hospital giving her the wep key and letting her jump on to their secure line lol

So glad I never got an iphone....even their adverts piss me off lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
You might want to note that it advertises as "new" what's been in use in every goddamn smartphone with a front camera and WiFi since 2007. Even my old nokia 5800 could do that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ostendk:
MANY phones could do this "facetime" via 3G network in denmark since.. since 05 i think? .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
Yeah, but i'm focusing on the stuff in the advert.

3G Video call overseas isn't compatible with all networks.

But yeah, video calls started late 2003, i remember my legendary Sony Erricson Z1010
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
Yeah, the publicity about FaceTime does annoy me - it's not only a technology that's been around for years in a form which doesn't require WiFi or a particular model phone, but it's also a technology which has been singularly unpopular. I've never made or received a video call in the years I've had a compatible phone, and I've never seen or heard of anyone ever using their phone for that either. But suddenly it's the next big thing?

This isn't very related to the Galaxy S though.. isn't it one of the few Android phones that support 3G video calls?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] voodoochild2008:
utter crap, dont get me wrong I think the 1st iphone was great, got the ball rolling....but thats where it ends, every new rehash of a model they then brought out was still behind most phones out at the time and still are.....thats why this is sooooo funny even though I go for sgs myself :-)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ostendk:
The Best thing that could happen is if a Dev build and App that supported thier FaceTime protocol and made it for android - over 3G network :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
The WIFI restriction should be easy to bypass with jailbreak. Don't be surprise to see facetime on Android, ipod, ipad, notebook, and desktop soon. The protocol has some very real advantages over what we have in the old phones.

I don't get upset to see innovations by any company whether I like that company or not. Competition is good and consumers benefit from it.

Just to offer a different perspective, and not to start a flame war.
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PHONE:IF YOU DO THIS AND IT BREAKS IM SORRY BUT IM NOT RESPONSIBLE

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5123531#post5123531

I'm done this to my Eris but I didn't benchmark before (and I still haven't done a speedtest after lol)

I can tell you I haven't broken anything so it won't ruin anything to try it. Just simply edit the build prop with these values (acording to Amon_RA) but this is just for the Hero, I don't know how it'll work on the Eris.

Two of these values should already be in your build prop:

Credit goes to Amon_Ra for specific values:

ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask = 4294967295
ro.ril.htcmaskw1 = 14449
ro.ril.hsupa.category = 5

Anyone who knows more about this, can you give some input?

To edit build prop open up the command prompt to your tools:

adb remount
ADB pull /system/build.prop build.prop

This puts it in your tools folder.

Open it in notepad or wordpad and input the values listed above, I suggest checking that they aren't already in there.

Save and close it

command prompt to tools with this input:

adb push build.prop /system/

Reboot
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
I really only know what some of those have to do with... a lot of them don't mean anything to me.

Some people reported some serious speed increases, in the topic I saw up to 4x the speed.
[Droid Eris General] alboalbo:
Be sure to backup your build prop file prior to modification..
[Droid Eris General] FunkyFender:
I might be wrong, but most of those don't look like they would have an effect on our device (since we operate on a different technology than the MT3G).
[Droid Eris General] LexusBrian400:
Who exactly is, "some people"?
[Droid Eris General] firestrife23:
ro.ril.hsxpa
ro.ril.gprsclass
ro.ril.hsdpa.category
ro.ril.hsupa.category

Those are for GSM related, have no effect on CDMA
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
In the Hero thread.

Good to know.

I sorta figured but is there some way similar to apply this to CDMA?
[Droid Eris General] firestrife23:
Information you're seeking for... I'm not well verse in this.... however, Android was orginally designed for GSM network until version 1.6 they've offically start supporting CDMA.

It'll take quite bit of research, I would suggest start digging around at android developers http://developer.android.com/index.html which is good starting point.
[Droid Eris General] jatkins6969:
interesting. looking forward for updates!
[Droid Eris General] ericlmccormick:
That makes no sense being that the eris is CDMA and originally ran on 1.5
[Droid Eris General] es0tericcha0s:
So, I wanted to give this a shot, but did not have any luck with being able to open the .prop. Then the light bulb flashed and I got the idea of changing it to a .txt file (after copying it of course...) and that worked. Just a heads up for some people who aren't 100% computer savvy.

PS. Now that I edited it, I resaved as build.prop but I'm not sure that it will stay in the correct format. Anyone have any ideas before I try to push this back to my phone and mess it up? heh...only 75% computer savvy here it seems.
[Droid Eris General] erishasnobattery:
Instead of changing the extension, right-click and select "Open with..." and then notepad or whatever. Then .prop files will always open with Notepad. :)
[Droid Eris General] es0tericcha0s:
Thank you for the advice, but that isn't an option that I have. My only option to open with is Open and there is not a selection for Open With... When you select Open it says that I don't have anything installed that will read a .prop file, which is why I had to change the extension to .txt. Running Windows 7 Ultimate.

PS. Nevermind, figured it out. I just recently started using Windows again after a long stint with Linux, so still getting the hang of some of the smaller things.
[Droid Eris General] CTouch:
I know I am nub to this forum, but have years of experience in CDMA/UMTS technologies...these values will not support the eris.

For UMTS most definitely as the device was probably shipped CAT6/7 and now your adding HSPA CAT8 to the device giving higher down/up link tput capability.
[Droid Eris General] vash8806:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudebro:
so I'm on the latest CM nightly with setcpu 2.0.1 set to 1113ghz with min at 998mhz.

I noticed after every reboot and sometimes without a reboot setcpu reverts back to default (998 max 245 min).

I have set on boot checked and the only way to get it OC'd again is to go back into it.

it shows it's at 1113ghz but shows it's running at 245mhz. there any other settings to change to keep this from happening?

never happened before with any previous version.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
I'm not exactly sure why you would want to set the minimum so high.... but anyhoo.

The issue is a problem with the version of superuser included with CM - it doesn't seem to hand out superuser permissions early enough for setCPU to apply settings at boottime. The workaround is to flash an older version of superuser. wildmonk posted a flashable, working copy of the older superuser appllication in his thread. Download, flash in recovery, and your troubles will be over.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudebro:
thanks, i'll flash it. any suggestions about what to set for min? thinking about leaving it at default.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
I leave my min at the default 245. I want the processor to be able to scale all the way down if it doesn't have anything going on.

[General Questions and Answers] KevlarTheGreat:
I sync with Outlook at work and MyPhone everywhere else. I often run new ROMs on my phone so I have to restore all my contacts, calendar, etc....

No matter what order I restore things in, it seems like I end up with doubles of my calendar items and sometimes doubles of my contacts as well, although that's easier to deal with.

Anyone know of a slick way to deal with this so that I don't lose everything and also don't end up with doubles?

Thanks
[Vibrant General] soklean:
I just wanted to point a few things about the Samsung Vibrant everyone is complaining about how this phone does not have a D-Pad and i just wanted to clear this up.

In fact this phone has a d-pad, select the samsung keyboard if not already in use hold down the key on the keyboard that is use to select numbers and symbols you will see a d-pad appear with copy, past select text options.

Also to easily dim your screen or to brighten your screen, slide your finger across the top of the screen where the notification bar is and you will notice your screen brighten or darken according to which way you slide your finger. (Note you may need to disable auto brightness for this function to be activated.:)
[Vibrant General] soklean:
Heres a pic of the dpad
[Vibrant General] blueman9:
The Swype keyboard also has a really nice d-pad. Just swype from the tutorial icon right to the SYM key and it will show up.

Sent from my Vibrant, using the XDA app.
[Vibrant General] renegadedj:
Thank you very much for the brightness slide tip!!! :o
[Vibrant General] Zaphodb2002:
Anyone else accidentally changing the brightness a lot? I swipe the bar with my left thumb, and if it's too angled of a swipe, my screen brightness goes to 11. I never thought I'd complain about a screen being too bright, lol.
[Vibrant General] cbisquit:
can we activate the d-pad when not in a text entry field? I used the trackball on my G1 to select html anchors to get at small links or hovering elements
[Vibrant General] iceman1251:
Wow I did not know this thanks for the info.
[Vibrant General] down8:
It can be used on a web page, but I've only gotten it to come up by hitting a text box first. For that, even the addresses bar works.

[Vibrant General] southpaw773:
keyboard almost always pulls up with a long press on menu. but in the browser this also pulls up the URL bar so no can do. also what is 'keyboard sweeping' in the samsung keyboad options?
[Vibrant General] soklean:
yes all you have to do is hold down the menu key they keyboard will pop up and then you just have to do the process up top..
[Vibrant General] jkcheng122:
What about when you need to see text in a menu selection that is truncated to the side?

For example, if you go to Market -> Apps, under Finance and Health, you can see there are text that runs off to the right edge you can't read. In my old phone MyTouch, if I highlight Finance, the text will scroll across so I can read the rest of the line. Can't do this right now with the Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] soklean:
i havent ran across this problem. i am pretty sure when 2.2 comes out it will fix alot of the small issues, like on my nexus
[Vibrant General] cbisquit:
I'm not seeing that option since holding down menu opens the url bar which can't be closed independently of the keyboard.
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
Awesome post, thanks.

Anyone figure out a better way to auto-fit text on the browser? I find tilting my phone to change the orientation and tilting it back makes it auto-fit. Phones like the Incredible do it as you're doing pinch to zoom--no need to flip the phone around.
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:
excellent! I didn't realize that was a d pad lol.. i always thought of a d pad being like a trackball or flat button like on the blackberry bold 9700

thanks to you and the original poster for the tip. I found out about the swipe for screen brightness by John on droiddog dot com
[Vibrant General] th3fallen:
very nice but in swype you can do the same thing just swype from the swype key at the bottom left to the SYM key right beside it and you get arrows and some other goodies. :)
[Vibrant General] dexim:
Oh wow! This was my biggest complaint about the Vibrant. Thank you very much.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
For those saying "o wow", check the sticky. Surely some other things you've missed.
[Vibrant General] jkcheng122:
I hit the - or + buttons back and forth to get the text to wrap, yeah it's a bummer they don't wrap using the pinch zoom. Also you can double tap the screen to initiate zoom, that method also auto-fits the text.
